My herbage

My Herbage

parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
tra laAlso a tomato plant

I will admit to being lazy about
gardening, which in my case means herbs. I try to winter a few over, but
even lavender and rosemary generally don’t make it through the cold on
my mountaintop. And then, what with one thing and another, I’m never out
with my hands in the dirt early enough to grow from seeds.

You know those folks you see out in
the garden shops in May, (and June,) furtively buying pot herb plants?
And overgrown miserable pot-bound tomatoes. That’s me.

So I’m transplanting my little herbs into larger pots in an apologetic way. Also the tomato plant.

I write historical fiction set in Revolutionary and Napoleonic France and Regency England. It was a time of love and sacrifice, clashing ideals, and really cool clothing. I live in the Appalachian Mountains with a view out over the countryside, sharing it with my brown mutt and a peculiar cat.

Random quotes I enjoy

There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away.
